Custom control designer cut & paste or move no InitializeNewComponent

Hi everyone,

I have a custom control with a custom designer. I need to check something about the control when it gets added to its parent. Currently I override InitializeNewComponent and perform the checking there. The problem is when I cut and paste the control onto another parent it does not seem to run either InitializeNewComponent nor InitializeExistingComponent. Is there any method that does run and a way to know that a cut and paste was performed?

Regards,

Mark.

Hi spanky4_3

I have tested and recurred your issue, neither InitializeNewComponent nor InitializeExistingComponent would occur when you copy or cut your component to another form. If you do like to implement this effect. You should override the Initialize method. It will be called once the component be copied or cut to another form. As far as I know this is the only way.

If you have any question, please don’t hesitate to tell me.

Sincerely,
